obliquity; 4=deep saddle-shaped; 5=semilunar; 6=convex; 7=markedly concavo-convex. 
+ In two specimens (2 per cent) the form of the border was unclassifiable. 
The data obtained in this particular on the Munsee and other 
Indian groups, as well as on a large series of whites, are given in the 
next table. It is very evident that racial and tribal differences of 
some importance exist in the shape of the border. Among the whites 
its most common form is type 2, or moderate to medium oblique, 
pronounced obliquity being infrequent; types 4 and 5 occur but 
rarely. In the Munsee there is a curious but doubtless local preva- 
lence of the semilunar type 5, the next most frequent form being 
that of pronounced obliquity; and one-fourth of the cases show the 
saddle form or an approach to it. Among other Indians the con- 
ditions differ. The cliff-dwellers of southern Utah come, on the 
whole, near to the whites; among the Mexican Indians low borders 
prevail, while among the Northwest Coast tribes we find the oppo- 
site condition—high borders, with a relative frequency of the angu- 
lar or saddle-shaped type (4 or near 4). It is an interesting fact that 
the last named form (4) is frequent and often highly developed in 
the Eskimo. 
The question occurs as to how the form of the superior border differs 
in the two sexes and on the two sides, and the next table throws 
some light on these problems. It will be observed that among the 
Indians the differences between the males and the females are not 
striking, though there is a tendency toward greater obliquity of the 
border in the males. Among the whites, types 1 and 4 are more 
common in the females than in the males; type 2 occurs about the 
same number of times in the two sexes, while types 3 and 5 are more 
frequent in the males.
